I been to the gate before after work around 8ish, its always had a chilled lounge feel to it, we normally only have a couple of drinks and grab a bite to eat (can not get enough of their dim sum) and then head out.
Last Friday myself and a group from work decided to stay on after our meal, grab a couple more cocktails, we did not expect the bar to turn into a night club, it really made our night!
The music was grate to have a dance to and the vibe was fun, Unexpected but defiantly appreciated.
Is gate better than studio54 on a Friday night, well i don't know.
i wasn't around back than, but it must have felt something like this.
last Friday after a hard day at work we decided to go for a few drink and one of my colleague suggested the gate, now he is in to music and bars and clubs so we trusted his suggestion and boy he was right.
we got there about 11 to the place it wasn't so busy than but within 20 minute the place was full and either the music got louder or i was drunker,either way it was great. the music was pumping all sort of styles mixed like nothing I've heard anywhere else, but than again i might've been a bit tipsy. anyway i had an great night dancing all my work stress away and definitely going back again just as soon as my wife goes to holiday .
Crazy expensive drinks and possibly watered down vodka. Went to the Gate on Friday and ordered (among other things) a large vodka cranberry from the bar: it cost £12.80. I watched the barman pour what looked like a quad-shot, and three-quarter fill the tall glass with vodka. It was so full the cranberry barely changed the colour when added. But I could barely taste the vodka (nor could a friend who tested it) and it had almost no effect! And I drank it fast and the ice was almost unmelted, it was the first drink of the night and I waited to see if there was an effect, but almost nothing which is odd as I am a light-weight. Either the ice overfills the glass not leaving much room or the vodka is dodgy. Either way, waste of money and a rip-off even if it was a proper drink.
I been to a lot of venue's in London, so when organizing my birthday, I wanted it to be perfect.
Their events manager took care of everything, food, drinks, decorations, i had an amazing time.
I recommend the Gate to anyone, even just for cocktail, but also if you want a party planed to every detail, this is the place.....
I had the best time out in Gate with my friends. We booked the lounge area next to the bar for my friend birthday. Great music fantastic cocktails and canapes and the staff simply magnificent, so helpfull and friendly. I felt like I'm in a House Party. This place will be my new base.
To sum up my experience at The Gate in one word: disappointment. Having pre-booked a table for 10 as part of a stag evening, I was most disappointed and frustrated with the lack of acceptable service and even more frustrated at the lack of managerial oversight. The main course took over an hour and twenty minutes to be served at which point the dim sung dishes were confused with no offering of clarification from the serving staff. This ghastly experience culminated in the bill taking over thirty minutes to be produced. A private party/function took precedent over a group booking. Compliments should be paid to the chef for a the high standard of food -- overshadowed lack of managerial know-how.

I have just read the last review and I have to say this is completely wrong as I was there last friday! I had the best time there and I am going there this Friday to watch the football and then stay on for the club! The DJ was excellent I had a great time with my friends.
